Buried Secrets

I don’t want this project to simply talk about music for Fantasy games, so here’s an album that most definitely doesn’t fit in at all in a typical medieval world. Jazz legend John Zorn’s project is avante garde jazz meets metal and punk. There is no vocals on this album, though there are occasional screams. The music is always dark and loud and just plain bizarre. The first track sounds like someone is choking a saxophone to death. Some tracks, such as “Black Hole Dub” could fit a noir-style game while others you’ll have to be very creative about how to fit into your game. I used this album when a jazz club was attacked by hordes of ghouls in a Shadowrun style setting.
